Question: are the files for react + redux still required

[jangalinski]

Hi Jussi, many thanks for your video course at packt, one of the beest I had so far, learnt a lot, not only about kotlin, but also gradle, springboot and module-architecture.

I am trying to adopt your layout to my own app and wonder: the files in frontend/src/main/kotlin/{react, redux} seem pretty generic. Is it still the case today that I have to manually create and maintain thos files in my kotlin/js frontend or are there libs I can just import with the same behavior?

Thanks
Jan

Thanks Jan,

I'm glad you found some value from the course.

For React side of things I would nowadays recommend using the 'official' wrappers provided by Jetbrains. You can find them from here: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers

For Redux I haven't found a good 'authorative' solution quite just yet, due to the library being in the end so simple and bare bones. I feel a wrapper around Redux + React-Redux wouldn't grow too big nor be much of a maintenance problem since both of those libraries are considered feature complete and shouldn't change their interfaces any more in the future.
